Eva Green is new Bond girl

Makers of the upcoming James Bond movie Casino Royale have cast little-known French actress Eva Green as the next femme fatale to pair up with British agent 007, distributor Columbia Pictures has said.

Green, 25, who made her 2003 film debut in The Dreamers, about a French brother and sister who befriend an American during the Paris student riots of 1968, will play the enticing Vesper Lynd opposite English actor Daniel Craig in his first performance as Bond.

Last year, she appeared in the big-screen crusades drama Kingdom of Heaven. In landing the coveted role of the next Bond girl, the French actress edged out a list of contenders reported in the Hollywood trade press to have included Oscar winner Charlize Theron, as well as Thandie Newton, Olivia Wilde and Kimberly Davies.

1 - Kingdom of Heaven (2005) as Sibylla
2 - Arsene Lupin (2004) as Clarisse de Dreux-Soubise
